Bought at Menards used for the first time 30 days after and it would shut down when any load was applied, had to get it serviced not replaced. Works fine now but would have preferred a new one not waiting 4 weeks fir a repair

Generac would not start
Would Not RecommendOrdered Generac 3500 GP manual start. Was exited to get it going . Topped it off with fuel and oil as recommended. Pulled the handle about 100times . Could never get it started. Opened the side panel where the oil plug is located . Didnt see anything unusual . Was about to give up box it and return it to Lowe’s when I decided to open the panel from the pull side . Just looked in there to see if something was off or anything I could see. Lo and behold I see a quick attachment cable was disconnect...
We’re sorry to hear about the trouble starting your generator and appreciate you sharing the details. The disconnected cable you found is not typical...

The inverter generator works as advertised. I thought it would start better than it does. It takes at least 4 pulls to get it started. My Briggs lawn mower starts on 1 pull and the generator takes 4 or more. Could be bettered engineered.

Hard cranking
Good product, takes at least 3 pulls to crank each time. Hard cranking only downside
From generac.com
I bought this well over a month ago for use if we lose electricity. Have set it up and started it but nothing else. I hope it works as an inurance policy and prevents us from loosing service. If that is the case, I am pleased I made the purchase. The electric start was a must and that was an important feature when making the purchase. If and when I use the generator, my overall rating could change.

Super disappointed
Would Not RecommendI bought this on Friday for our tailgate on Saturday. Put oil in it that came with it, filled it with ethanol free gas and never would start. After 3 hours of trying to get it to start we just gave up. Have never been more disappointed in purchasing a product as buying this portable generator. Ruined the entire tailgate

Didn't work for me
Would Not RecommendIt says this generator will run a 15000 btu RV air conditioner. But it kicks to overload every time. I have a small 28 ft pull camper. Buy a bigger one or a different brand. Now I have a generator I'll never use. For 800.00

Great for camping!
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This was perfect for camping! It powered everything we needed and was surprisingly very quiet compared to other generators I have seen used. Highly recommend!

Not Quite Adequate for RV AC
Would Not RecommendDespite it saying it will power a single rv ac, NOPE‼️ At least not here in Moab Utah. Keeps throwing a engine code on the control panels. Unit stays running but doesn't generate any power. And it doesn't throw the units breakers. My 30yr old Makita 3500 watt powered it just fine, but, it was much louder and thought the quieter unit would do the trick...WRONG‼️
